Having a terrace is not only a pleasure, but also a duty. Only adequate care and maintenance, are able to provide us with its long -term life and protect against variable weather conditions - sun, rain, and even frosts and snow. It is the winter period that is the biggest challenge for every terrace, because during this period it is dealing not only with low temperatures, but also variable water states.
Renovation after winter
terrace boards show great susceptibility to winter temperature changes, as well as the moisture that snow and rainfall carries. After winter, ensure that our terrace, before the full spring, returns to its state from before cold winter.
First of all, it is worth developing time to impregnate wood. Boards such as:
- pine,
- spruce,
- from European larch,
- or from Siberian larch,
They require annual care that will restore their former splendor. At the very beginning, clean the boards with a brush and water - a pressure washer will be great here. The next step is to disgust, if our terrace lost its color and scattered significantly after winter - a great agent removing the gray raid of wooden terrace boards is the Holzentgrauuer coral.
After performing the first cleansing activities, it is worth starting to oil the terrace board. This treatment will protect the terrace from the effects of variable weather conditions, and what's more, it will significantly improve its visual qualities. The choice of oil is not a simple task - you should consider primarily the quality of the product. Professional and semi -professional products are available on the market, which is characterized by different durability and immunity. However, it is worth reaching for those that have appropriate approvals and are recommended by the manufacturers of the terrace boards themselves. Our offer includes, among others, high -quality Koralan impregnating oil, which guarantees longer life and strength of the natural terrace.
Many people ask themselves: how to oil? The answer is simple - with a brush, rubbing movements. Importantly, the method of several thin layers will work best. It should also be remembered to apply the second layer of oil only after it dries first. In a few cases, e.g. with larch terraces, you can also sand them gently to get rid of the so -called rising hair.
We will use a different care method for exotic wood or thermo wood. Thanks to their high resistance, they do not require protection against fungi or mold, as well as other effects of variable weather conditions. Patination that occurs without annual protection does not harm boards, but it changes their color. However, if gray is not our dream color, oiling will be a response to visual needs.
Color - how to get the best color?
Oiling terrace, wooden boards is important not only in terms of proper renovation and maintenance, but also in terms of color. In order to restore their boards from before winter, it is worth stocking up oils, which will suit the wood species, and after a double layer, they will pigment them so that it gets its natural color.
Renovation of the terrace is a task that we can undertake ourselves or commission it to specialists who have not only knowledge, but also relevant experience. Many companies producing and assembling terraces also offer a service, which is renovation after winter. The use of this type of services will allow us to sleep well and guarantee that this process will be performed 100% with due diligence.
